Thank you for your inputs.
I will wait for Charles results.
Picked up my welded crankcase the other day. Turnaround was very quick, price soothing.
It was a new casting that needed buttering up around the centre cam bearing - pattern deficiency - so wasn't subject to the oily crack problems that can be the scourge of older castings. However, I'd have no fear of taking an older casting to him but I'd be guided by his advice about cleaning out the cracks. He'd been welding magnesium alloy Porsche crankcases the day before and was recommended to me by two vintage car friends and the foreman of my trusted engine rebuilders, who sees a wide varieties of work.
